I just noticed that this archetype Blizzard is forcing is a direct support for odd druid.
"[...] it may attack again (but that will never happen, sorry 'bout that.)"
Nope. Druid got so much armor anyway so violet seems useless. Rather have a broken legendary in its place
combo this with gnash and it feels like a really slow foolsbane
Useful only for this before rotation
Twig of the World Tree
This would be decent for a class with some decent weapons...
This card will turn out to be Violet Illusionist's best friend in Wild :D
Yeah, that's what I was thinking, too. Sad that both druid legendaries are better suited to wild play.
Well, i usually play Wild anyway so i can't wait :D
But still... It is requires other cards to support the board wipe and will be costly for your HP.
How can people be confused? Hero is the subject. In Giant Sand Worm's text, the first sentence has the sand worm as the subject.
Whenever this (the sand worm) attacks and kills a minion, it may attack again.
After your hero attacks and kills a minion, it may attack again.
The wording is consistent.
Even tho I wasn't confused before I saw comments and was thinking it says about Hero, calling Hero "it" looks weird for me. I would be confused if I think about it too much after reading. Not english native, so I guess that's the reason. I was taught "it" is only inanimate object or someone you can't call "he" or "she"
I don't see how people are reading this wrong. the fact that they have put a comma in between minion and it, still refers 'it' to being the hero and not Gonk himself.
Drood ans mage will have heros power archetype
it’s good to see new decklists
Some classes gotta take the garbage pack, it's druid this time
the main situation i see this being used in is in a dream scenario whereby it survives one turn . the following turn you twig and gloop kill 4 minions, get a malygos out than crack the twig get floop to copy malygos and OTk from there.
Or you play a bunch of ramp, get this out at like turn 5, break a twig go to 10 mana and cast a super huge thing
Let me guys point out some interesting advenventages of this legendarny minion for druid.
- 7 mana 4/9 are honestly solid stats for its cost. Hard to remove with spell and well, we can put him behind any taunts that make him hard to be removed.
- it synergizes with any beast buffs and certainly supports this kind of archetype. If u double its Health its almost impossible to be removed. Just great
- the ablility to attack again and again is huge! U can play 1 mana spell that gives ur heri power 1 attack and kill anemy's board pretty much. As for druid, killing minions and losing some HP does not matter that much due to his armię again capability! DK for druid is well, the best possible synergy along with this legendarny.
- this card gonna be OP vs any kind of deck I suppose and gonna make druid hero power playable, odd druid may see play this way!
Overall I'm rate this card to be 4,5/5, meta defining. I hope my predictions aren't false. #hype
Stop hyping for trash
Maybe not for trash but "almost impossible to be removed" is just lying to yourself - every class has a way to remove it and runs this way in constructed.
People keep talking about druid weapons, but I wonder how this might work with Gnash and Claw. If that works as I hope, you can buff your heroes attack and kill lots of minions. Druid already has the armor to dodge it.
